Received September 25, 12.43 p.m. Occupation of Damietta.—Cavalry Review at Cairo. Alexaxdkia, September 23. Damietta was yesterday occupied by the British troops,, under .Sir Evclyu Wood. The bulk of the rebel garrison had previously deserted, and had made their way to Tantah, where they submitted to the British. The remainder fled before the arrival of the troops, but only after the enemy had looted and plundered the town in every direction. The commander of the garrison, Abdellah, yielded to Major-General Wood on the entry of the British. A grand parade of the British cavalry took place to-day at Cairo. Since this display the attitude of the populace, previously most insolent towards the troops, has become most abject, the parade having had an overawing effect on the population.
